Description

This collection includes both Crusader Kings II: The Reaper’s Due and Crusader Kings II: The Reaper’s Due Content pack.

Crusader Kings II: The Reaper’s DueLittle remains of those settlements where the Black Death has passed through. Hasty burials make a mockery of the sacraments and set a feast for the crows. Once prosperous provinces have been laid waste, and the lord of the land hides away – secluded in his hilltop fortress, hoping the plague will pass him by. Wiser princes took precautions, and didn’t waste the revenues from more prosperous years.

But, in time, all must pay The Reaper’s Due.

The Reaper’s Due expansion for Crusader Kings II highlights the historic importance of epidemics and disease in the Middle Ages, especially the Black Death – an outbreak of the bubonic plague that may have killed a third of the population of Europe.

Crusader Kings II: The Reaper’s Due Content PackDeath and disease is spreading throughout your kingdom in in Crusader Kings II: The Reaper’s Due, and with the release of Paradox Development Studio’s expansion comes an accompanying Content Pack.

The Content Pack contains a Portrait Pack detailing the east African provinces and a Clothing Pack focusing on the late Byzantine Empire. In addition to these, there are fifteen new models for both Eastern and African councilors.

The Reaper’s Due introduces many new systems and features to what is already the richest medieval tapestry in gaming:

The Black Death: New additions to epidemic system include this super destructive disease and a new map mode that track the expansion of deadly illnesses.

Court Physicians: This new position for learned courtiers opens up a series of events tied to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases with medieval tech.

Hospitals: Slow down the spread of epidemics by investing in these outposts that care for the sick and infirm.

Prosperity and Depopulation: Watch your provinces thrive under your careful attention and degrade under the pressures of diseases run amok.

Seclusion: Take a page from the Masque of the Red Death and hide yourself away with your court as plagues ravage the countryside.

And even more: New physical traits, new events chain and a host of smaller changes.

This DLC makes diseases more dynamic making the game more unpredictable

I highly recomend this DLC.In terms of gameplay content this pack adds 2 major features that i find fun: diseases and prosperity. What makes this DLC fun comes from the diseases making "curve" balls on the dificulty, you can be lucky and get the disease to take out the enemy king leading his realm into civil war or youc an be unlucky and have your children die of measles. Prosperity makes it worthwhile to not have your kingdom raided all the timeIn terms of cosmetic DLC imo the east african portrait pack and the late byzantine clothing pack help make those zones much more unique. IMO it is worth buying the collection pack because both the gameplay and the cosmetics are interesting.
